I downloaded the latest version and it worked. Malwarebytes site says they should.ĭo you have any advice on using Mcafee LiveSafe and Malwarebytes together? I'm using LiveSafe and Malwarebytes Premium 3. Can't enable protection in Malwarebytes - posted in Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help: Hi, I am having problems enabling the file and web protection in malwarebytes. /01/15 A few days ago a notice popped up saying my real-time web protection is disabled, and would not start. I didn't realize Malwarebytes was also an antivirus now so I hope they still play well together. This time action center still had LiveSafe firewall but showed both Mcafee and Malwarebytes both on for everthing else. I restarted the computer and checked everthing again. Lo and behold when I looked at LiveSafe firewall, it was on! I checked Windows Action Center and it showed all Mcafee for firewall, antivirus, malware etc. In that case, you need to manually click the Scan button and start a scan periodically. Suppose you want to detect and remove malware in the free version of Malwarebytes. I think it eventually righted itself.Īnyway I decided to to turn off that Malwarebytes 'Web protection' setting option to see if I could then turn LiveSafe firewall on. Real-time protection against unwanted websites, malware, ransomware, and exploits is disabled in the free version. I really didn't want to start reinstalling stuff so I've been reading and looking around and I remembered that Malwarebytes recently updated to a new version and afterwards some protections were turned off and I had trouble getting them to turn back on. Yikes! I'm stumped but I'm not a techie either. How do I designate Mcafee as my antivirus again? I can't enable LiveSafe Firewall.Įdit 6-27-2018 (10:34pm): I checked around today and found in Systems and Security that Malwarebytes is listed as my (1) antivirus and (2) spyware protection. I tried turning off Windows Firewall and then tried turning on LiveSafe Firewall but still nothing. I don't know how to get LiveSafe firewall back without maybe messing something else up.Įdit 6-26-18 (10:30pm): I found that Windows firewall in enabled and protecting my network and router. I tried to enable LiveSafe firewall but nothing happened. Is that what it's referring to?Įdit 6-26-18 (9:00pm): I could really use some help please. It also says 'my network' is not protected.

I'd like to know how or why it happened and if I should switch back to LiveSafe firewall and how.

I checked McAfee LiveSafe and PC Security shows firewall turned on but when I open Firewall page it says 'firewall turned off' and the Turn On button is active. Follow these steps On the Google Chrome browser but it will disable the scanning in chrome so ensure you reinstall AVG.

I opened my Seagate backup program and got a pop up from Windows firewall wanting me to approve the action.
